Podcast Gumbo

Podcast Gumbo produces a weekly podcast that connects national holidays with podcast recommendations. Host Paul Kondo collaborates with guests from the podcast industry to find episodes related to specific National Days, such as National Crossword Puzzle Day or National Thank You Note Day. Each episode runs under six minutes and is released on the morning of the corresponding National Day.

The show features three podcast recommendations per episode: one related to the featured National Day, information about the guest's podcast, and one of the guest's favorite podcast episodes of all time. Guests include podcast professionals like outreach specialists, managers, and fellow hosts from various podcast networks and organizations. The format extends Kondo's existing Podcast Gumbo newsletter concept into audio form.

Episodes are distributed across major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher. The show maintains a curated playlist of all recommended episodes for listeners to access the suggested content easily.
